    D&D 5E (2014) Everything We Know About The Ravenloft Book

    Fingers crossed that House of Lament is a suitable replacement for Death House. DH just feels awful to run IMO, and I could use a different take on the "spooky house" angle that DH was pushing but didn't really deliver on.

    D&D General Adam Bradford, Lauren Urban, Todd Kenrick Leave D&D Beyond

    To be fair, they've probably made all the money they can off of CR for the time being and whatever sponsorship agreement they have probably only ran its course temporarily. They'll probably get together again when they start a new campaign to try and capitalize on incoming D&D players who come...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC Announces An Impending Announcement: New Setting, Storyline

    The book's original, unblemished release date was May 15th. The pandemic first pushed it back to June before the printers told them they can't get it out until mid-July, which is where we're at now. Even if it were still coming out in June, this event is two weeks after the fact. They've done...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC Announces An Impending Announcement: New Setting, Storyline

    Mind you, the book was supposed to be out by now. It's only delayed because of the impending end of all things, so really it's not that unrealistic that they made an adventure tie-in, except for the fact that they didn't make an accompanying hardcover adventure for Ravnica and there's little...

    Critical Role The New D&D Book Is 'The Explorer's Guide to [Critical Role's] Wildemount!' By Matt Mercer

    See, the idea of cross-promoting other relveant WOTC franchises like MtG at least makes sense, though. I mean do I want to see a transformers setting for 5e? ...Well, only a tiny bit. But not enough to beg for it. That said it definitely wouldn't be my first or even last choice for a D&D...

    Critical Role The New D&D Book Is 'The Explorer's Guide to [Critical Role's] Wildemount!' By Matt Mercer

    That's good to hear. A shame not all players or DMs will end up being that way. I just wish Matt and them would've acknowledged that when planning this product out. I'm sure most of them will be, at least the non-psionic ones. I don't mind that bit, because you can remove the rules from their...

    Critical Role The New D&D Book Is 'The Explorer's Guide to [Critical Role's] Wildemount!' By Matt Mercer

    I'm very torn on this one. Fact of the matter is, all those classic settings people keep pining over are just too played out or not as fun as they think. D&D needs fresh settings every edition to make it work. Sometimes the old ways just don't translate into a new ruleset well enough. Sometimes...

    Ravnica Available To DMs Guild Creators From Today!

    So, the only burning question I have is whether or not I can convert cards from the past and future Ravnica block sets into D&D creatures/items/spells. The book covered a lot of them but I want to go the extra mile and flesh them all out because I'm a maniac who likes freedom of choice. I just...

    Ravnica Table of Contents & More

    Darn, only two new subclasses is a bit of a letdown. I wasn't expecting one per guild or anything but the fact that one is just another cleric domain to add to the 11 we already have is a huge mark against it. Circle of Spores has been a hit and I'm glad it's finally getting out to players...

    Spelljammer …Wait till you see Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage (Spelljammer?)

    I loved the expedition books (There was coincidentally also one for Undermountain, and I was working on converting it until they announced this book in June). Virtually everything I would need to jumpstart a new campaign in the palm of my hand. They've made it even easier this time around by...

    Add A Colossal $250 Sailing Ship To Your D&D Minis Collection!

    I mean, it's gonna take almost a year to come out...I can just shave a few bucks off my paychecks and save up for it. Or I could skip eating for that week. My birthday is also that week...I'm tempted either which way. I really wanted to run a ocean-based campaign and eventually giving them a...

    Creating a More Immersive D&D Experience

    I've never been able to get into the mentality of using music for atmosphere in D&D games. I prefer using minis and making terrain to use with my players infinitely more. For whatever reason just listening to music doesn't usually do enough to set the scene or immerse me, as player or DM.

    Jon Peterson posts Mordenkainen in 1974

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a huge reveal because Mordenkainen's stats have been privvy to a select few and never completely released by anyone until now, right? I mean, besides all the post-TSR releases that had stats for him where they were more or less made up like in the Epic Level...

    D&D To Introduce Loot Boxes

    That demogorgon was about right for its price point - it's as big as the case incentive minis they've been making for the WizKids figures and the crate it came in cost about $50, which is around the resale value of those large minis right now. I just really didn't want to have to buy, build...

    Looking At Dungeon Tiles Reincarnated

    I bought the full set of these off Amazon when they came out. Only cost me $50 for three of them so I figured it'd be worth it. I've used two of the three sets (my group just doesn't dungeon crawl often so I still have the third box shrink-wrapped). The City set is definitely the best, because I...

    Coming in May: Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes! [UPDATED!]

    Especially useful for me since my current campaign revolves around Yugoloths taking over the scraps of a planet that was devastated because it served as a battlefield in the Blood War. I'm hoping for a few more special magic items like how they detailed the Illithid crafted weapons in Volo's.

    It's Time To Pre-Order Your Copy Of Into The Borderlands

    I don't know if you were ever given an answer, but they mentioned both adventures would have extra content in them to fill in ambiguous rooms that were left untouched in the original, so as to make the adventures fuller. Chances are that B1's additions are probably included in its pagecount and...
